ROVERS RETURN A LEESY DECISION

- BY MICHAEL SCULLY

LEE LYNCH has joined Sligo Rovers for the second time after leaving FC Arizona.

The 26-year-old made 70 appearance­s for the Bit O’red in his first stint with the club in 2012-13,inset, scoring nine goals.

Lynch, who has signed for Gerard Lyttle’s side until the end of the season, said: “I was in America and the league had problems where this season wasn’t going to take place.

“My agent put me in touch with clubs and there was interest from League of Ireland and one from Europe. But I spoke with Gerard, right, and he told me about his plans here.

“My family and I have always loved Sligo. I had two and a half years there and knew it would be easy to settle. I know some of the players here, the club’s huge fan base and the talent here.”

Sligo have also handed new contracts to reserve keeper Ed Mcginty and Liam Kerrigan, who has signed his first pro deal.

Both players have signed until the end of next season.
